Why did. Loakes not make a stance when his own party (New Labour, under now Multi- Millionaire Tony Bliar) deregulated the legislation under 'Gambling will be fun' Tessa Jowells? Like yo say, what is worse the chicken or the egg? The toxic cancers of fun, as addictive as heroin have ruined lives of families up and down the Country, it is an absolute absurdity that Loakes is now banging the drum of this cause trying to close the stable door when the horse has bolted.

It is the height of hypocracy for the Labour Party, which created this mess, to go round complaining that there are no powers to deal with it. The entire point of Tessa Jowell's 2005 Gambling Act was to make sure the Labour Party's friends in the gambling industry would be able to fill their boots with the minimum of democratic scrutiny and control.
